Women's Draw
Men's Draw
Some interesting first round matches!
Hope it's a good tournament, with no limitations on crowd size there should be a great atmosphere.
Keeping everything crossed for Medvedev here, but just can't see past either a 4 or 5 set win for Djokovic. If nothing else I just hope Djokovic doesn't canter to the win and is made to work for it.
Well, he's already done a lot better than in Melbourne! The serve obviously the key issue in that set, just serving like an absolute beast. I still think Djokovic is winning, but this is at least slightly encouraging.
Medvedev first serve unreturnable for the best returner of all time.
Djokovic needs to start "seeing" his serve more and soon.
Djokovic coming to the net a lot after serve because his ground game has not been effective against Medvedev so far.
Djokovic drops the first set as normal.
That bad choice of slice shot off the drop shot was costly.
Medvedev's flatter shot profile causing Djokovic trouble also.
And just not on his game in general
Actually could be nerves
I’m watching the nfl bit I’m keeping up with the men’s final and I see Djokovic lost the first set again.
When Djokovic loses the first, it's usually a sign he will kick things up a notch.
what a fookup by the US Open system in fairness tho on break point - had returned deep into the corner
Djokovic not at the races - maybe all the extra hours and pressure have caught up with him?
There goes a racket.
Gotta feel he is in big trouble here. Just doesn't seem to have the energy. He will rue all those unnecessary four setters.
Djokovic in serious, serious trouble. He's going to need a comeback to surpass the French Open final turnaround against Tsitsipas, and then some. If he'd taken his break points this set, he might be well into this match, but nothing doing.
Djokovic needs the second set, can't see him winning this from 2 down
just started watching, don't let it be a five setter, I need an early night.
Not a Djokovic fan at all...but I thought he would kick things up a notch after that first set...but Medvedev really not letting him, great to see. Would be brilliant to have a new grand slam winner in the men's.
I wonder what would be the odds of djkovic going to the Jack's to chill out for 10 mins if he loses this set?
This is over, well done Medvedev ...
God, I'm so demoralised I've had to turn it off. I really need to get some perspective! The way Medvedev is playing/serving, this would have been a tight match anyway if Djokovic was landing his first serves and had a low unforced error count. But he hasn't a hope playing as he is. That's what's so demoralising - it's not even competitive.
What happened?
was always the worst matchup for Djokovic and Djokovic playing badly.
looks very over.
That was a really bad miss by Novak. He had all the time in the world.
I still think Djokovic will turn this around and take it in 5.
That 2nd set was not as perfect for Medvedev as the 1st.
If Djokovic can get 1 break it's a different match.
Djokovic has break point (first one of the set and a break down) and hit a good return off second serve into the backhand corner.
the IT system called it back in the middle of the rally
so Medvedev gets first serve again on the replay
two points later Djokovic smashed his racquet
Looks like Emma will be only one making history this weekend.
All over !!!
Going to 5 with Zverev looks like it took too much out of his legs. The crowd actually supporting him must be disorienting too.
Medvedev playing almost flawless on serve, he needs one more break to take the title.
... and Medvedev breaks right at the start of the 3rd set, from 30-0 down.
impossible, Djok playing awful awful tennis and a break down in the 3rd ....
it's done
Wow, that's outrageous. All my disappointment has been converted to anger on hearing it! I've had to hold my nose watching the gaudy American ceremonies and hearing the rowdy crowd shouting during serving motions, and that just tops it all off.
wow ..big hold. long way back now.
Novak is missing chances I haven't really seen him miss in a long time.
Medvedev is a like a cat on court today.
And Djokovic not moving anything like he usually does - even leaving shots that he'd never leave.
That's it.
It's over.
Double-break.
